Show HN: QAmcp – an open-source tester and monitor for MCP servers

Category: devtools

Tags: mcp, testing, cli, security, qa, typescript

Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

QAmcp is a CLI tool that treats MCP servers like any other service to be tested: it connects as an AI client would, runs safe tools, probes error handling, checks for leaked secrets and hidden prompt-injection instructions, and produces a transparent, arithmetically-scored report. It is interesting because MCP is a fast-growing integration surface with almost no testing/QA tooling, and QAmcp applies a principled (non-LLM, reproducible, evidence-based) approach to server safety and quality.

Target audience: backend devs, AI/LLM application developers, devops/QA engineers building or installing MCP servers
